Strategy for 5th plan kicks off
The NDP5 Implementation Plan has 80 programmes that are to be implemented through 178 projects over the next five years.
The strategy that will guide NDP5 implementation over the course of its life was launched in the National Assembly by the deputy minister of economic planning, Lucia Iipumbu, yesterday.
According to her, extensive consultations were carried out to guide the steering of the N$164 billion plan.
“Regional consultations were also held in all 14 regions and the draft document was subject to public commentary to ensure that the voices of fellow citizens were heard,” Iipumbu said of the buy-in sought.
Speaking in the National Assembly yesterday, she said that the implementation plan would be guided by 80 programmes that would be realised through 178 projects.
“In total, the NDP5 Implementation Plan has 80 programmes that are to be implemented through 178 projects over the next five years. These projects and programmes therefore reflect our collective needs and the efforts that we will put in place to fight the identified challenges,” said Iipumbu.
Of the total, N$73.3 billion would be for physical infrastructure expansion and modernisation in the water, information communication technology sectors, N$32 billion for investment for social development protection, youth empowerment and sports development, N$30 billion for investment in education, health and nutrition, N$19.4 billion to enable structural transformation, N$7 billion for good governance and N$2.6 billion for environmental sustainability.
She pointed that the identified projects will be funded from a multitude of sources, such as through government budgetary allocation, private sector funding, funding from development finance institutions, institutional savings, PPPs donor funding where appropriate.
She called for broad participation in the fulfilment of the NDP5 plan.
“Let me emphasise that a successful implementation of the NDP5 depends on all of us as a nation. I therefore call upon everybody to take ownership of NDP5 and work towards the attainment of the desired goals set,” concluded Iipumbu.
